Transfer data between two separately running python programs.

[MDK]

I've spent many hours trying to understand and then implement this.  I've
added the code to my collector and my analyzer.  However, when I get to
coll.run() the analyer program still stops execution while the collection
sits in its loop collecting data.  The DataAnalyzer class does get the data
as I can see it by putting sys.stdout.write(somebytes) in the feed fuction.

I just don't see how this was supposed to solve my problem.  Am I missing
something?

Thanks.
